Undoubtedly, “The Revolution WILL be televised” was the main players’ motto. Most Romanians only saw their revolution on their small black and white televisions while others were the actors, willing and uninformed…. The Revolution ruthlessly took more than it gave — beautiful bodies, healthy food, cultivated culture, tested tradition. In the end, communism’s empty materialism was simply traded for western society’s empty materialism, which happily did away with what the Eastern Block years had inefficiently leftover. The hungry people of before 1989 have been transformed into obese people. Instead of queuing for meagrely rationed bread they now queue to buy imported foods in overpriced hypermarkets. It’s time the world heard this true story of Romania’s Revolution, because most Romanians took only a couple of years to realize how little western culture had to offer.
